Cleaned up our rig today after a 10 day, 3500 mile trip where we encountered 3 large storms, the beast was filthy! Especially the back end and after stopping twice at RV washes out on the road, only to get rained on again within 24 hours, we gave up trying to keep it clean. While washing the back end, I directed the hose toward the Genset (Onan 2500) and it fired up without touching anything! Luckily the propane was turned off so it fired and quit right away after burning the fuel in the line. Be aware that the engine mounted switch is not as waterproof as one would think and a blast of water will short it out and cause it to start. At least on mine it did!

activated the Direc TV reciever for the camper and hooked up the portable self locating FLEX satellite antenna. Now Ruth has TV on the road and can watch her shows at night. I guess will be spending more time outside in the folding chair.

But a happy wife.....

1) called my storage lot and cancelled my site rental. The old slide-in truck camper is dead, Jim.
2) Looked at the pile of debris (there's a flat trailer under it) and trying to come up with uses for the debris. The rest will go out to the curb in the wheelie bin, will probably be done with it by Labor Day.
3) I think I will cut away the old bumper sticker part and hang in on the basement wall next to my Wall Drug sticker, which dates back to 1983.

I picked up a hitchhiker with mine today;
2013 Yamaha TW200. I sold my twin Honda Trail CT90 bikes and got this instead. Wife and I love it!

Scrubbed the EPDM roof with powdered mild laundry detergent, a medium bristle brush and some elbow grease!
